Conservatives shouldn't throw up their hands in despair, at least yet. They should wait until they hear from Miers as a witness before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
That, my friends, is entirely too long!
The perception on this pick is wrong publicly!
go read the bio on Judge Clarence Thomas then tell me what is in it that makes you think he was a sure coming of Scalia or any conservative. Thomas and Miers are in the same boat, Thomas had one year on the bench before he was moved up and before that all of his work had been politics - with a short time at Monsanto. I don't mind having a born again woman that made senior partner of a 200 person law firm.
